The climate is hot with high evaporation rates and generally low rainfall, making irrigation essential. The climate is also continental, resulting in long sunny days \u0026amp; noticeably cooler nights. Modern viticultural \u0026amp; winemaking techniques mean that the climate can be seen as one of the region's strengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinification\u003c\/strong\u003e The fruit was crushed and de-stemmed into varying sizes \u0026amp; styles of red fermenters, the fruit was then fermented on oak at cooler temperatures of 18 - 22oC for 5 - 7 days. Fermenting at cooler temperatures allows the fruit flavours to be nurtured and enables retention of varietal characteristics. Post fermentation the majority of the wine is matured in stainless steel tanks with a percentage of the wine transferred onto French \u0026amp; American Oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage\u003c\/strong\u003e Best enjoyed now or can be cellared for 3 - 5 years.
